Are macros buttons on keyboards worth the money?

Question

I play many online games, and have to get a new computer without a PS2 port, so my current keyboard won't be able to connect. Are the macro buttons on the gaming keyboards worth the big price tag?

Answer 1

Hello From the Tech:

I have Played Ultima Online for about 10 years and the Logitech G15 was the best thing I ever bought.  Unless you look to a game pad or speed pad such as a Nostromo n52 which I love as well.

Set up properly they both take gaming to a new level to compete.

This is a hard question to answer since it is more about personal preference. IF you want to be able to automate a bunch of commands to one key then yes it is worth it. They can also do things the built in game macros can't but you have to be willing to get them working just the way you want them.  The price tags aren't that high you can get them for around $66 bucks and most of them come with added features like built in usb hubs.
